Say you have a fully locked-in, patented general assembler, owned by one
company. Surely, if anyone else could get use of this assembler (via
licencing) , they could use it to make a new assembler which worked in an
entirely different way, which would circumvent the patent. Probably it would
work better, too, it's design being based on the existence of a previously
constructed assembler.
